I formed the El Cat Investigation Team in Pirates.

"Admiral, the latest issue of the newspaper is here, meow."

(=ΦwΦ=)つ

On this day, Xie Wen was massaging his cats in turn on the deck as usual, and Hua Meimiao jumped down from the mast with the newspaper she had just obtained.

Xie Wen quickly took the newspaper and started reading it...

Ever since he spoke to Morgans on the phone two days ago, he had a bad feeling, because the birdman did not ask him about the battle process or anything like that. He just exchanged a few casual pleasantries, then said "I've got a big surprise for you" and hung up the phone.

Putting aside the official newspapers and wanted posters, Xie Wen quickly opened his "own" World Economic Daily.

As expected, the photos of Xie Wen and Kleemeow, as well as the photo of Gulan Tezoro's golden wall that was melted by Kleemeow, occupied most of the space on the front page of the World Economic Daily.

The text content only occupies less than a quarter of the content, and a large part of it is a line of bold and enlarged front-page headlines:

[Not a pirate! The fifth emperor of the sea is born! ]

Xie Wen: "..."

Am I a Nika?!

Xie Wen rolled his eyes speechlessly and rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.

He never thought that being the "Emperor of the Sea" was a good thing. Just look at the four emperors in the comics who were troubled by the emerging pirates. Those ambitious pirates would not retreat just because they had the title of Emperor of the Sea. Instead, they would be more active in causing trouble for him.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the birdman Morgans at least specifically mentioned that he was "not a pirate"...

Although Xie Wen felt that there was not much use in doing so.

However, becoming one of the "Five Emperors" or something else was actually within Xie Wen's expectations. After all, he had been one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea before. After the title of Seven Warlords of the Sea was abolished, he would most likely be given some title.

Thinking carefully about his achievements so far, it seems that becoming the fifth emperor is not so surprising?

Xie Wen smacked his lips, then took a look at the content of the news.

Overall, the content of this report is not much different from the truth, except that the existence of the Knights of God was concealed. In addition, it is somewhat biased towards Tesoro, portraying him as an innocent victim...

Well, most likely Tezulo gave Morgans money.

The clever Blue Star had already seen through everything.

After putting down the World Economic Daily, Xie Wen picked up the official newspaper again. He was somewhat curious about how the World Government would report it.

result……

The front-page headlines of the official newspaper had nothing to do with Xie Wen.

[Imperial Prison was invaded by unknown persons, and some criminals disappeared mysteriously]

What? Impel Down was robbed?

That's not right. At this point in time, it's not time for Luffy or Blackbeard to take the stage yet...

Xie Wen didn't even bother to look for his own report and quickly browsed through the news.

After reading it all, he finally understood that Impel Down was not like Luffy in the comics, who fought his way out directly. Instead, some criminals suddenly disappeared without the knowledge of the guards, and no one saw them alive or dead.

This situation is... Ivankov?

In the comics, the Shemale King set up a secret base in Impel Down and housed many criminals. The price they paid was that they had to have their gender changed by him using the power of the Hormone Fruit.

But, he has been in there for so long, is it only now starting?

Moreover, even if they want to set up a secret base, they shouldn't do it in such a high-profile manner.

Unfortunately, the content in the newspaper was not very detailed, and Xie Wen could not guess what the truth was.

After this report, it was finally Xie Wen’s turn in the news.

Sure enough, in the official report, there is another statement:

The "evil" Xie Wen of "Blue Star" coveted the wealth of "Golden Emperor" Tesoro and wanted to rob the golden ship, but was stopped by the navy who "happened" to be on vacation on Gulan Tesoro. In this battle, Huangmu, who was recruited from the civilian population, performed well and would be promoted to general, codenamed "Green Bull".

The only similarity between this report and the World Economic Report report is probably that both of them concealed the existence of the Knights of God.

"Suspicious behavior meow... Compared with the news written by Mr. Morgans, will anyone really believe this report meow?"

(=w=)

Miao Julang, who was held in Xie Wen's arms and read the entire text with him, looked up at Xie Wen in confusion.

"Of course someone will believe it."

The one who answered him was Robin, who was holding another official newspaper in his hand. "Although Xie Wen has always had a good reputation, the World Government has maintained its rule for so many years, and there are still many people in many places who believe in them. Moreover, the World Economic Newspaper used to have a bad reputation and often distorted reports in order to make big news."

"In addition, ever since the Saint Mary Joa incident, the official newspapers have been working tirelessly to destroy Xie Wen's image. If you tell too many lies, naturally some people will take them seriously. Then it is only natural that Canglan Star covets the wealth of the Golden Emperor."

Xie Wen also knew about this matter, but he didn't take it to heart. Morgans even specifically asked him if he wanted to help refute it, but Xie Wen refused.

Having seen too many such acts of spreading discredit on Earth, he knows very well that it is easy to spread rumors but difficult to refute them. It is meaningless to argue with this kind of white noise bomb tactic that needs to be falsified, especially in this world without the Internet and underdeveloped information transmission.

Even if he wanted to use the tactic of using the navy to blacken each other, it wouldn't work. After all, it's no problem to ask Morgans to disobey the orders of the World Government, but if he wants to blacken the World Government and the Navy in turn, this birdman doesn't have the courage to do so.

Therefore, Xie Wen could only ignore this situation, he had no interest in paying attention to it.

"One more thing," Xie Wen scratched Miao Juro's chin and added, "The Celestial Dragons were not mentioned in either report. The Navy still has a pretty good reputation among the people."

After all, a large part of the navy is indeed "protecting civilians", even if it is limited to civilians in member states.

"So, without the Celestial Dragons stirring up hatred, I believe the number of people reported in the official report is definitely higher than the previous incident in Santa Maria Joa."

"I see..."

Miao Julang nodded seriously, then squinted his eyes comfortably and made a purring sound under Xie Wen's touch.

(=w=)

After reading the report full of lies in the official newspaper, Xie Wen pulled out the latest wanted posters...

As expected, the top picture is a photo of myself.

"Blue Star" Xie Wen, bounty 35 billion Baileys, life or death.

After killing two members of the Knights of God, the bounty only increased by 500 million berries. It seems that these "elite" Celestial Dragons are not very valuable.

Xie Wen sneered and turned over the second one. As expected, Klee's cute little face appeared. However, compared to Xie Wen who only increased his bounty by 500 million, the bounty of the little doll increased much more.

It went straight from 7 million to 7000 billion Baileys, the same as Sharmi.

The value of the main force in this battle, Meowrya, also skyrocketed. The bounty of the "Seven-Colored Puppet Master" increased from 1500 million to 3 million Beli, making him the fourth most valuable cat in the investigation team, higher than the two combat cats, Meowjūrō and Link-meow.

And just like before, Klee and Meowth are marked as just alive.

In the end, Dudu finally got what she wanted and was put on the bounty list. And because she looked very similar to Klee, even though the navy knew nothing about her, they still gave her a "high price" of 5000 million Baileys.

[That’s great, meow! Everyone, come and see, I’m on the bounty list too, meow! ]

(=`=)

Dudu's performance was exactly the same as Klee's. He excitedly held up his bounty and ran to show it to others.

As for the remaining bounties, except for the two newly emerged pirates, all of them were pirates and wanted criminals who "disappeared" in Impel Down this time. Xie Wen naturally saw Ivankov's heavily made-up face among them...

Well, after the 2D to 3D conversion, Ivankov's look became even more eye-catching.

"Wait a minute! Where's Kamijou-san? Why doesn't Meow have a bounty for Kamijou-san?!"

(=ΦДΦ=)

A certain unlucky little cow cat yelled indignantly.

"Are you sure you want to see the bounty on your head?" Xie Wen rubbed his cat's head and said sympathetically, "With your luck, you will probably become the target of public criticism for no reason after being put on the bounty."

"..." Touma Miao: "Unfortunate Meow!"
